Chapter 391: Chapter 391 Melanie’s Invitation

Shi Fang: "Alright! I’m going back to them right now!"

The call ended.

Standing beside Shi Fang, Guan Heng immediately asked, "Shi Bro, what did the chief say?"

Guan Heng was the first one contacted by the Crowley Family and also the first to relay the news to Shi Fang.

Shi Fang put his phone into his pocket, scoffed, "What else could he say? Told them to get lost."

Whatever dared to step on their web head on, and even thought about having them hand over the lady of the house? They should look at themselves and see if they’re even worthy.

Guan Heng frowned, "Shi Bro, the Crowleys do have some influence in Savannah. What if our reply angers them?"

Shi Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flickered deep within, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"This matter began with the lady. Young Master Juan just wanted to have a coffee with the lady, and she poisoned him," Guan Heng carefully chose his words. "Why not let the lady give them the antidote? To turn the tide from war to peace?"

Guan Heng held significant dissatisfaction towards Shen Yanhe.

The net had been entrenched in Savannah for so long, and conflicts with the Crowley were always under the radar.

But since Shen Yanhe’s arrival, she brought the conflict into the open and gave the Crowley Family such a significant leverage over the net.

What if the Crowley used this leverage to unite internationally against the net?

"Someone has crapped on your head, and you still want to make peace?" Shi Fang sneered, squinting as he sized up Guan Heng: "Guan Heng, when did you become so generous?"

"Or are you saying, you don’t want to stay with the net anymore and wish to go over to the Crowley family? To become one of them?"

Guan Heng’s scalp tightened instantly, his face flushed with red, as he quickly spoke, "Shi Bro, I didn’t mean that."

"If that’s not what you meant, then what did you mean?" Shi Fang looked at him unemotionally. "Do you think our net can’t handle the Crowley, or do you think our net is so incompetent that we can’t even protect our own lady?"

Guan Heng shook his head, "No, Shi Bro, I just think that there’s no need to offend the Crowley over this small issue..."

"Small issue?" Shi Fang’s face was expressionless. "You think the chief’s wife being harassed is a small issue?"

Guan Heng’s body stiffened instantly, his nerves taut as the blood drained from his face, "No..."

"You’ve lost your bonus for the year, and your tasks are halved," Shi Fang’s face soured slightly. "Go to the punishment hall for ten canes, and if there’s a next time, you don’t need to stay with the net."

Guan Heng’s face paled as he nodded, "Yes."

After Guan Heng left, Shi Fang stood there with a dark expression on his face.

At that time, to develop the net’s influence quickly, they recruited people of all sorts.

Now that the net was stable, it was time to clean house.

After some thought, Shi Fang sent the conversation he had had with Guan Heng to Fu Yanhe.

-

Elsewhere, in a restaurant.

Shen Yanhe cocked an eyebrow at Fu Yanhe, propping her chin with one hand, "What’s the trouble?"

"The Crowley family got in touch with Shi Fang; they want us to give an explanation," Fu Yanhe’s eyelashes drew together slightly, his hand leisurely flipping through the message from Shi Fang, his gaze cool, "I told them to get lost."

Shen Yanhe’s eyes curved as she tilted her head, "But this Crowley sounds a bit familiar, let me think..."

"I remember now," Shen Yanhe blinked and said, "When I was developing the C02 drug, I needed a lot of herbs and had exchanged one with the people of the Crowley family."

She spoke casually, "At the time, I wanted to buy it at a high price, but they were too greedy. They didn’t want money; they wanted to marry me, so I just robbed them."

"I also beat up the man who brazenly said he wanted to marry me. I remember that man had some name... what was it, something with ’L’?"

"Lairol Crowley," Fu Yanhe said indifferently, "The heir to the Crowley estate."

"It must have been him, but I don’t quite remember clearly." Shen Yanhe blinked.

At that time, her mind and eyes were full of medicine, and a man couldn’t catch her attention at all.

Why would she bother to remember his name?

Fu Yanhe smiled, then suddenly said, "Yanyan, let’s pick a date and have our wedding."

When Shen Yanhe "married" him, there was no dowry, no wedding ceremony, just a simple black sedan that came over, very humble.

Fu Yanhe had been planning to give Shen Yanhe a grand wedding.

He had brought it up with Shen Yanhe before, but it had been shelved due to various things.

But he really, really wanted to give her a grand wedding.

To announce to the whole world that she was his wife.

Shen Yanhe looked at Fu Yanhe in a daze, fell silent for a few seconds, then softly said, "Not this year."

"Xiao Huai just left, the affairs of the Immortal organization haven’t been resolved yet, and there’s Shen Zhong..." Shen Yanhe pursed her lips and lowered her gaze away, "Let’s see after the issues are settled."

"As long as I have your word, that’s good enough." Fu Yanhe took Shen Yanhe’s hand, his voice gentle, yet his possessiveness was extremely strong, "You are mine, anyway, and you can’t escape."

Shen Yanhe blinked, "Wow, what kind of domineering CEO remark is this?"

Fu Yanhe’s expression did not change, "I read a lot of domineering CEO books when I was learning from Fu Yanheng; there were many quotes like this in them. Does Yanyan want to hear them?"

She pondered for two seconds and decisively nodded, "Yes!"

Fu Yanhe paused, then looked down at her for a couple of seconds before his thin lips slightly parted, "Woman, your mouth says no, but your body is very honest."

"Damn it, I, who disdain women, have actually become aroused by you?"

Shen Yanhe: "..."

Shen Yanhe pounced forward, blocking his mouth with a smile, "Alright, enough said."

If he kept going, her luxurious villa would be starting to crumble.

Fu Yanhe’s eyes gleamed with amusement, his voice slightly muffled, "Had enough?"

Shen Yanhe nodded repeatedly, "I’ve had enough."

She was now extraordinarily grateful that Fu Yanhe hadn’t really gone bad following the books.

If he had, she would have definitely killed the person who provided him with the domineering CEO books.

After eating in the restaurant and strolling outside, they returned to the manor.

Fu Yanhe had to leave at one point to take care of some matters, asking Shen Yanhe to go back to her room first to take a bath and rest.

Just as she walked into the hall, she saw the woman sitting on the sofa in the hall, drinking coffee.

Melanie heard footsteps approaching and turned her head with a face full of joy, "Fu, you’re back..."

The second she saw Shen Yanhe, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, her demeanor turned cold, "Why is it you? Where is Fu?"

"Do you have business?" Shen Yanhe asked with one hand in her pocket, raising an eyebrow at Melanie.

Melanie clicked her tongue and reached out to the bodyguard standing beside her. The bodyguard took out a black card from the bag he carried, "Fu’s not here, but it’s the same talking to you."

She stood up with the card in hand, swaying elegantly over to Shen Yanhe, and handed her the black card, "This is an invitation to the annual auction held in Harman Country. I invite you and Fu to attend together."

Melanie looked down condescendingly at Shen Yanhe, "You must come."
